FORMER B TECH STUDENT OF SRM UNIVERSITY WOWS PRINCE WILLIAM & PRINCESS KATE WITH DOSA MACHINE
Prince William and Princess Kate may have met four entrepreneurs at a tech event in Mumbai on April 11, but it was Vikas Eshwar, an alumnus of SRM University, Chennai, who had them eating out of his hands. The royal couple who are on india tour met with four entrepreneurs at The Social, a collaborative cafe-workspace for young business talent, organised by the UK Trade and Investment in Mumbai.Among them was 24-year-old Eshwar, founder and CEO, Mukunda Foods, who had created 'Dosamatic', an automatic dosa maker.
"Our machines, which we make in commercial and domestic models, are available all over the UK and the US machine that was why we were called for the meet," says Eshwar, who graduated from SRM in 2013.He says it was in his final year of his B Tech course that he and his batchmate and Dosamatic co-founder Sudeep Sabat came up with the invention simply because they had become so fond of dosas and could never perfect the art of making a crispy paper-thin dosa.
